    Right Wildfire,

    Here is my point. The game places your resources into the warehouse. Depending on the level of the warehouse and the precentage you choose. The 'hiding it in my market' tactic works well if you are on and as you say just logging off. My point is that you can't always be on, and when you are 'off', you are producing resources. Well with the warehouse tactics those resources that you produce while lets say *Sleeping*, can be put into the warehouse and be virtually safe from looting by the game. If you rely on the market tactic you are just setting yourself up for a fall and losing resources if they attack you when you arent looking. The best way to preserve your resources is by far the warehouse tactic in the long run. I really dont know why i keep having to explain this it seems relatively simple. Perhaps if you like you can post a thread with your opinions on the matter, but as you see i am clearly convinced that this method works. Once agian, i do not discount the market process overall, but in most every case, building up your warehouse and the other things i mentioned in the above article seem to provide the quickest way to recovery. If you have good hard evidence to the contrary, by all means post.

    I hope that this helps you understand, and through understanding you will be able to finish your noodles without choking.

    Warehouses hold VERY little.. even at lvl 9 with lvl 9 stockpile a warehouse would hold less than a million resources...you'd need to take up multiple spaces that could have barracks or cottage on them to protect a meaning amount of stuff, and if the raider has Privateering, it makes it even less.

    It's true that the person raiding would get the resources you harvested while you were off, but you can save alot more than a warehouse ever would, and a level 4 marketplace is FAR cheaper and easier than a warehouse.

    Scout a bunch of cities... you'll not see very many warehouses.

    It's great you want to be helpful but it's clear you are just starting out. Play a while before you start giving advice

    I like the hiding resource in market... I will start using that haha. thanks!

    btw, is there a time limit for market? say you put 100k food for 200.000 each (outrageous price), will it cancel after a while?

    The longest I've had anything in the market for was about 24 hours, and it was still there, I haven't expirimented with longer.

    Well hey, wildfire, if you want to write a post on why hiding stuff in the market is so superior to building warehouses i encourage you to do just that. My post is about becoming independent as quickly as possible. I think if you are up to storing a million resources. that by this time you would have started sinking some of those resources into fortifications in your walls, which is my second point. It IS the optimal way to go. Bar none. If a person would like to and if you are suggesting to use the market strategy in conjunction with mine that by all means try anything that works. By proclaiming it as the only way and far superiour you are just misleading players that desire help.

    Some people say banana, I say "what you talk'n about Willis'.

    He did. I think what you're saying here is that he should've started a separate thread, rather than a separate post. But, I don't see why that's necessary. His suggestion was directly on point and in rebuttal to your initial post, which suggested that investing in warehouses was the right way to go. (I'll admit the posts in this thread about the 50k army "bluff" seem a bit off topic, but wildfire's comments weren't.)

    To Deedle and all the other people believe in the market strategy, Im happy for you. You have seem to find something that you like and, that works for you. I think the fact that you are still being attacked that you have to hide things in your market speaks volumes about your game play. Maybe if you had followed my strategy you would not be hiding things in your market. If you have a new town that is being attacked or are being run over by a massive army and need to hide resources quick, i would be in favor of that strategy. As an means to an end it lacks the usefulness of the warehouse. I will say no more on the subject as i think that i have stated what i believe and backed it up with the why. Ive sited examples and given them. It is my understanding that these are two separate ideas along the same lines, then lets marry them. Instead of you saying one is clearly better than the other. Its not. Once agian i thank you for submitting to my post, but hope that it be of substance in the future instead of just a jab. Please explain why you feel that way, or submit a link to another post. If you think that it could help someone if they are having problems in game play then by all means. To say something is better than something else requires proof, or good experiance. To say that you are still hiding stuff in your Market because you cannot defend yourself is just funny, and another reason that you shouldnt be posting. This post is about two things, conserving your resources and building your defenses. Once agian while I agree that the market stratagy is useful, it is not all conclusive. Thank you for your posts.

    May the farce be with you.

    I would also recommend taking advantage of the "Truce" setting, which you can access by clicking on your profile picture then changing your "player states". Under truce no other player can attack you for 12 hours so its a good way to prop yourself up while you build up your city.
    BTW: Thanks for the warehouse tip.

    What gave you the impression I "believe in the market strategy"? Actually, I didn't say whether I believe in it or not. What I said was it was appropriate for others to post their response to your suggestions. It was a pro-discussion position I was taking.

    Again to clarify, what I found was something I -didn't- like. Specifically, I didn't like your suggestion that other people shouldn't post when they disagree with you.

    Again, I never stated whether or not I follow this strategy. And besides, why is it "hiding" in the market, in the pejorative, but not "hiding" in the warehouse?

    Pardon me, when was I "saying" anything like this?

    No, I mean it, when did I say any of this?

    This was exactly the thing that bugged me and which I wrote about initially. All this "you shouldn't be posting" attitude. This is a forum where people discuss the game. What about that bothers you so much?

    But but, I thought you just said I shouldn't be posting?
